I wasn't sure where to put this, but it seems to fit in here. So, on the topic of smut/sexual scenes.

I know that a plot can develop down a route with sex. And red and blue stars do not mix!

However, I'm just wondering, when does it count as sexual?? Like, is kissing okay? Talking about sex? Making out? Or can you fade to black? I would like to make sure I obey the rules, so is there like some questions I should ask myself before I post something?? I don't want to cross a line! Thank you in advance! ​

My Usual Online Time:

Afternoons, evenings and nights.

Writing Levels:

Intermediate, Adept, Advanced, Adaptable

Genders You Prefer Playing:

Male, Female

Playing Style- Passive or Aggressive:

Both. I usually start off a bit more passive while getting used to the world and my character(s), but once I feel like I know my character(s) well I usually feel very comfortable with becoming more aggressive.

I like it if both parties can do things for the plot and create new characters, both villains and heroes. If you are completely passive, we might not fit each other.

Favorite Genres:

Historical, fantasy, magic, horror, supernatural, survival, vampires, demons, pirates, mutants, ghosts, romance (FxF, MxM, MxF) (Romance should be part of the plot and not the whole plot in itself), etc.

Genre You DON'T Like:

Scifi. Mecha. Combat. Overly action oriented stuff. Overly ecchi or sexual (Characters can have sex, but fade to black is a must.). Slice of life (I need something to spice up the rp, like supernatural stuff or a fantasy/historical setting. Otherwise it gets boring real quickly.)

Kissing and cuddling is okay and as long as you keep things in spoiler tags you can even have whole sex scenes in the normal forum as long as they develop naturally and doesn't occur too often. Fade to black is of course the best option to be on the safe side.

What's not allowed in the normal section is when you start touching genitalia. No mentioning of erections, orgasms or stuff like that without having it in spoilers or in the mature area. Of course if a sex scene drags out for many pages, it does clearly belong in the libertine/teen are even if it has spoilers, but if it's just a few posts back and forth with spoilers, then there's no harm to have it in the normal section.

It's a bit hard to determine exactly where the line is put. Just follow your common sense and if you notice that it becomes too many sex scenes (in spoilers of course) in a short amount of time, or that they are dragged out a lot, it's just to ask an admin if it's still okay, and if not it will be moved to the mature area.

And absolutely no sex scenes between 18+ and 17-! The line pretty much goes at the mentioning of genitalia when things starts to become steamy. Fade to black rules ALWAYS applies in a roleplay between two age groups. Kissing and cuddling is allowed, but cut it if they're taking it any further.
